GALBI (KOREAN-STYLE SHORT RIBS)



Galbi (Korean-Style Short Ribs) image

This dish, known as galbi, is a fine thing to eat in a restaurant, but it also makes for a wonderful and easy meal at home. If you buy English-style short ribs, which are cut along the bone, you must butterfly the meat into a thin, long strip. If the ribs you buy are flanken-style, in which a band saw is used to cut across the ribs, creating half-inch slices of beef dotted with three little bones, rinse them under cold water before seasoning to remove any bone fragments. It's a good idea to let the ribs marinate for at least two hours to allow the seasoning to penetrate; marinating overnight is even better.

Tips:

  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and cut them into individual pieces. You can also trim off any excess fat.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the ribs their flavor, so be sure to use a marinade that you like. There are many different Korean-style marinades to choose from, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: Ribs need to be cooked slowly and low in order to become tender. The best way to do this is to braise them in a liquid or cook them in a slow cooker.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Korean-style ribs are often served with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Korean-style ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning, you can easily make this dish at home. Be sure to experiment with different marinades and cooking methods until you find a combination that you love.
